Very good in Very good jacket. Lviii, 811, [11] pages. Notes. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Anthony Robert Julius (born 16 July 1956) is a British solicitor advocate known for being Diana, Princess of Wales' divorce lawyer[1] and for representing Deborah Lipstadt. Trials of the Diaspora is a ground-breaking book that reveals the full history of anti-Semitism in England. Anthony Julius focuses on four distinct versions of English anti-Semitism. He begins with the medieval persecution of Jews, which included defamation, expropriation, and murder, and which culminated in 1290 when King Edward I expelled all the Jews from England. Turning to literary anti-Semitism, Julius shows that negative portrayals of Jews have been continuously present in English literature from the anonymous medieval ballad "Sir Hugh, or the Jew's Daughter, " through Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, to T. S. Eliot and beyond. The book then moves to a depiction of modern anti-Semitism--a pervasive but contained prejudice of insult and exclusion that was experienced by Jews during their "readmission" to England in the mid-17th century through the late 20th century. The final chapters detail the contemporary anti-Semitism that emerged in the late 1960s and the 1970s and continues to be present today. It treats Zionism and the State of Israel as illegitimate Jewish enterprises, and, in Julius's opinion, now constitutes the greatest threat to Anglo-Jewish security and morale. A penetrating and original work, Trials of the Diaspora is sure to provoke much comment and debate. Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England is a 2010 book by British lawyer Anthony Julius. It is a description of a strain within the history of England that is discriminatory against Jews. The book argues that anti-Zionism in England developed out of antisemitism in the United Kingdom and utilizes many of the same antisemitic tropes in its arguments. The American literary critic Harold Bloom, writing in The New York Times, praised the book as "a strong, somber book on an appalling subject: the long squalor of Jew-hatred in a supposedly enlightened, humane, liberal society". In Bloom's opinion, Julius is "a truth-teller, and authentic enough to stand against the English literary and academic establishment, which essentially opposes the right of the state of Israel to exist, while indulging in the humbuggery that its anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, " and lauds the "fierce relevance" of the book at a time of rising anti-Semitism. Jonathan Freedland in The New Republic describes Trials of the Diaspora as "magisterial and definitive history of a thousand years of anti-Semitism in England." By contrast, British historian Dominic Sandbrook wrote in the London Daily Telegraph: "Many readers...will part company with Julius in his final chapters, where he effectively suggests that criticism of Israel is inextricably bound up with anti-Semitism"; and concluded: "This strident tub-thumping is unworthy of such a learned author, and makes an unsatisfying conclusion to an otherwise thoughtful and impressive book." British writer Antony Lerman, former researcher for the Institute of Jewish Affairs, reviewing the book for The Guardian found Julius' project in writing this work 'bankrupt', 'confused' and 'malign' in its relentless conflation of anti-Zionism and general criticism of Israel-including its treatment of Palestinians-with anti-Semitism, the meaning of which in Julius' book is in part 'incomprehensible' and leaves the reader thinking that, for Julius, anti-Semitism is whatever he says it may be. Geoffrey Alderman described Trials of the Diaspora as "set(ting) down several markers against which all future discussion of anti-Jewish prejudice-not just in England or the UK-will need to be measured". Among these are the idea that antisemitism is rooted in Christianity, and the blood libel was a largely English creation; that anti-Zionism is, in Alderman's words, "nothing more...
